Features: While transferring trains in Xi'an, Zeng's mother asked Qiao Qiao to sit on the luggage and wait, while she took Xiao Mei and An Ling to use the restroom. Zeng's mother reminded Qiao Qiao: "Don't wander around, there are many bad people who traffic in women these days." Qiao Qiao nodded vigorously: "I won't wander around." Even when she was stared at and scolded, realizing she had put herself in a very awkward position, she felt like shrinking her already small body into a tiny ball, wishing she could disappear entirely. Qiao Qiao, like all rural girls, had never been to a big place like Xi'an before, and her entire body was filled with a sense of propriety. Qiao Qiao's gaze dropped low, low enough to only see people's feet and a small segment of a leg. The feet and legs were all about to step directly over Qiao Qiao, and suddenly, someone tripped over her. The person grumbled: "Ugh!" or "What's the matter?!" or "You really know how to pick a spot!" Qiao Qiao let them complain about her, but she didn't move.
